In recent times, the trend behind the web has been to bring people together rather than isolate them. With the COVID lockdowns, to break the monotony and avoid loneliness, the internet has become a real gathering place and many initiatives have emerged to move in this direction.
Watchpubs is certainly one of these initiatives since its purpose is to allow everyone to create virtual rooms to listen to music and/or watch videos with their friends.
Have a good time with your friends remotely thanks to WatchPubs
The evolution of the Internet has included a strong social component in recent years. Social Media, forums, comment mechanisms are all tools for socializing with other users. In this context, it is not at all strange to see the development of services that allow us to push this contact even further, for example by sharing the viewing of videos or listening to music simultaneously. Watchpubs therefore turns out to be a tool that seeks to give a real social touch to the consumption of content on the Internet.
The great thing about this service is that instead of each of your friends watching a video on their own and then discussing it together, you can broadcast this video in a single place and have everyone watch it at the same time. As if you had created a collaborative TV channel, in a way.
The service is completely free and very easy to use. To create a virtual room go to Watchpubs. Click on “Go to app” to access the web app. You will then see all the public rooms available and you can also create your own public or private room in which you can invite your friends.
Then add videos to a playlist by sharing the video's YouTube URL or other services like Facebook, Soundcloud, or Twitch streams. The field that lets you paste the URL also lets you search on YouTube, which can be really useful for adding videos on the fly.
On the right of your living room, you will have access to a chat allowing you to communicate with your friends!
In short, Watchpubs is a small, 100% free service that will allow you to “chill” with your friends by listening to music or watching videos remotely, but together!
